I see your in WV. Did you have a bunch of drama during the school strike? I have a few teacher families and they were such entitled drama queens. Parents always think we owe them a special.

I did not, I have one teacher, and she only dropped off her child maybe twice during the strike. She rarely brings him when she’s off, except if she has a personal appointment away that would be difficult to haul him to...my biggest issue is having my stepchildren present (as they’re both young enough to count into my ratio) — their mom gets very upset that I can’t just take them any day without ensuring my numbers beforehand 🤷🏼*♀️

Yes they say they won't come when there is no school and they expect to come when there is no school! They also expect to not pay when there is no school either.

I was in a car wreck on valentines day.

My car has been in the shop and I've had a crappy rental car. Body shop called today and told me my car would be finished today!

I was so happy (originally they told me it would be middle of next week). I filled the crappy rental car up with gas, uninstalled my carseats, got the rental all ready to return.....

An hour later they call back and say I can't pick up my car until at least Monday. =(

I hate daylight savings time. Heck I hate both time changes. The kids are a mess and will be all week.

The kids are a hot mess today.

Daylight savings time is a PITB.

I HATE Food pouches!! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE!

I have a 2 year old dcg who hardly eats a thing here, because POUCHES!
I have an infant who will turn 1 in a couple weeks and sent her the "your child is turning 1" letter (thanks BC!) and she's panicking because I will not give a bottle or spoon feed a toddler. Also, NO POUCHES! I think I'm the only one making any effort to get baby eating table food.

One more hater of DST. Ugh, 2+ hours on one DCB raging because he was off schedule, plus the need for a AM nap which throws the rest of our daily schedule off, which makes everyone crabby because we aren't doing it right. Ugh. I can't wait for today to be over.

And my 3.5 yo dcb is getting a crash course in butt wiping 101. He's been trained for over a year, it's time.

The nice thing was that 3 of the kids slept for almost 3 hours (11:30-2:30!!) but one (who usually does sleep) was up for over an hour - reading, talking to himself, singing. I finally told him to close his eyes and rest, but guess who didn't want to get up when everyone else did? Too bad, so sad. 3 hours is my limit!

Well the school board took the kids spring break to make up for the teacher's strike.
I have already had parents ask if I would be open. NO! I am still taking my family vacation and my son will not be at school that week. I already put a note in his book bag.

I'm not sure my sister got that memo... she told me they only added 3 days to end of year; I'll text her since she's same county
